Large Development opportunity with rezoning in place - Price excludes Vat

Set within the peaceful farming landscape of the Malmesbury Rural District, this exceptional 53 hectare agricultural property presents a compelling opportunity for investors and developers seeking to create a distinctive countryside lifestyle estate. The property already benefits from approved subdivision rights, allowing for the development of twenty two individual lifestyle smallholdings of approximately two hectares each. This approval significantly enhances the property’s development potential and offers a clear pathway for a carefully planned rural residential community that embraces the growing demand for spacious country living in the Western Cape.
The land enjoys a quiet, scenic setting characterised by wide open spaces, natural beauty, and the sense of tranquillity that has made the Swartland region increasingly popular among buyers looking to escape urban congestion while still maintaining convenient access to nearby towns and coastal areas. Despite its rural charm, the property remains well positioned within reach of key destinations. Malmesbury lies only about twelve kilometres away, providing access to schools, shops, and essential services, while the coastal village of Melkbosstrand is roughly thirty seven kilometres away. Durbanville, with its well established residential suburbs, wine farms, and commercial amenities, is approximately forty seven kilometres from the property, making it easily accessible for commuting or leisure.
The approved subdivision into lifestyle smallholdings creates an exciting opportunity to establish a boutique countryside estate where residents can enjoy privacy, space, and a connection to nature without sacrificing accessibility. Demand for this type of rural lifestyle development has grown significantly in recent years as buyers increasingly seek larger properties that allow for outdoor living, small scale farming, equestrian pursuits, or simply the freedom that comes with wide open land.
Zoned for agricultural use yet already granted subdivision approval, the property offers both immediate development potential and long term investment value. Opportunities of this scale, with development rights already secured, are becoming increasingly scarce in the greater Cape Town region.
This is a unique chance to acquire a substantial landholding with the potential to shape a carefully designed rural lifestyle community just beyond the city’s edge, combining the appeal of country living with the practicality of proximity to major urban centres.
